Tribal Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) Hello Friends, i want to share some Pics of my 16610 Franken Sub. This one has an old MBW Case with nice deep rehaut and Lugholes on the case.. I overworked the whole case,worked on the CG`'s, drilled out the lugholes, installed Gen Tube and Crown and polished the case like new include the rehaut.. This one has a new ETA 2824-2 in silverfinish.... Very good Datewheel and a nice Dial.. I changed the Insert and put a great hollw midlink band with damm good SEL's and Gen sprinbars. Ok, just take a look... Mmmh, deeep Rehaut Gen Tube and Crown and CG's overworked.. Date Full shot Hope you like it.... Enjoy.... RG Tribal Edited August 22, 2006 by Tribal

HauteHippie Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Very nice work. The CGs are excellent!! Where'd you find that date wheel? It's great too. And I'm no expert, but I think there are better dials to be had out there for fairly cheap. You might want to source one and make this thing even better!
Bignasty Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Very nice work! Thanks for sharing. Jon

Thanks, tell me where can i get a better Dial....? Rg Tribal
bruce79 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 You can get a gen dial out there but where I know of will cost you upwards of $500. You might just want to get a cheap sub from Trusty and swap dials. How did you rework the cgs, did you just do the inside? What drill bits did you use and how did you polish them up afterwards? Thanks

Thanks Mmh, too much i think.... The Dial is very sharp i think and has a correct datewindow.... Only flaw is the swiss made by six.... The CG's where shaped ouside and inside a little bit... I take cobalt drillbits and drilled by hand,to polish itake my dremel and agood polish... RG tribal
